Arctera.io is going full steam ahead on data and artificial intelligence management. Arctera offers three backup and storage options that originated from Veritas Technologies LLC, covering data management, cyber resiliency and data compliance. All three areas are under a microscope in the era of AI adoption. Arctera focuses on data management that meets regulatory requirements and remains secure against ongoing threats from cyberattackers. AI presents a particular challenge to data resilience and recovery because it’s constantly changing, according to Matt Waxman, chief product officer at Arctera.io. “We have built IT around the notion that software is deterministic,” he explained. “The notion that [this] is static, that the software that you’re acquiring is going to be the same software at least for quite a long period of time. That’s not the case with AI. So what you bring in terms of a model is self-learning, and it’s going to adjust over time.” For this reason, it’s crucial to have multiple ways to back up your data and multiple ways to keep track of it. While Waxman advises against “AI whitewashing,” or applying AI to problems indiscriminately, Arctera has successfully implemented use cases for AI related to data compliance and monitoring. Arctera attempts to kill two birds with one stone by employing its data compliance software to monitor customers’ data environments for potential security breaches. The next step is governing the growing host of AI agents, according to Waxman.
